Many of the Olympia City Council members are professional people still in the work force.
They forget that many people in Olympia are on fixed incomes, social security, etc.
Professional people get pay raises that conform to the huge jump in inflation costs, after the Pandemic.
Many people on Social security cannot afford to pay higher and higher taxes on their dwellings.
These retired people cannot get their real estate taxes lowered, because other family members may have their
names on the real estate parcel, etc.
So people on Social security are being forced from their homes! (I have seen this in our neighborhood!)
City council members never think of these issues. They just see their own pay checks getting higher and higher.
One wonders when/if the voters of Olympia will recognize this.
One wonders when the voters will vote these people out of office.
The City council has to lower the city costs; we need expenditure reductions.
Are city buildings being used, are they empty, or can the City cut department staff?
Do we really need more and more city departments, to keep up with big cities like Tacoma?
We are not big like Tacoma. We cannot support larger city departments and agencies.
We need to lower costs in the City of Olympia, not raise taxes.
Please Olympia voters, wake up!
This is a town for rich people.
Rich people who get "Multi Family Tax Exemptions" (MFTE) from the City of Olympia, to build huge buildings,
while the rest of us have to pay the tax short fall. Wake up the voters of Olympia!
